Subject: hard decisions 😭
I’m gonna give it to you straight… I’m feeling really tired.
I’ll spare you the details, but suffice to say, I’ve had too much on my plate lately.
I feel like I’m trapped inside of a giant dryer at the laundromat, banging helplessly around the machine and cursing whoever keeps feeding it quarters.
My business coaching clients are telling me they’re feeling the same way.
It’s an interesting conundrum…
On the one hand, we’re building momentum in our businesses. We’re changing lives with our work, making money for our families, and feeling creatively fulfilled.
On the other hand, the earth is burning, children are dying, women’s rights are being stripped away, and it’s hard to really care about anything.
Maybe you’re feeling this struggle too?
You want to keep going, keep working towards your goals, but you just can’t.
So, what do you do?
How do you balance self-care and business growth when it all feels like too much?
I want to share the 3 things I tell my coaching clients to do when they need to to give themselves a break without losing their momentum… but I’m too tired to write it out, so I recorded an audio message for you instead!
(This audio is about ~7 min long. Listen while taking a walk or read the transcript here.)
For full disclosure, I also share the 3 hard decisions I’ve made this month to cut myself some slack—yes, I’m taking a big gulp of my own medicine. It’s hard, but helpful.
Hope this pep talk helps you make your own hard (but helpful) decisions this month.
You deserve to rest without sacrificing your ambition. We’re in this together.
Much love,
Maegan
